Pillay or
Pillaimar is an upper caste title used by land-owning castes of Tamil- and
Malayalam-speaking people of India.
Pillai,
meaning Prince,is a title of nobility which can either refer to a ruling chief,
members of the nobility, or junior princes of the royal family historically
ranked immediately below the king.
From
the early modern period, the title also came to be bestowed on Savarna subjects
by the ruling families of Kerala for services military or political, most of
whom were of Nair origin.
Originally
a title meaning "royal child", it came to be given to administrators
of a king or a temple, often holding large estates on behalf of the latter.
The
Pillais of Kerala had authority over their own regions and right of judgment in
provincial disputes, as delegated by the king.
They
collected fines and taxes and in return received a share of the income they
collected. In wartime they led the king's armies.
Some
desoms were grouped together under a Prince into larger units that represented
earlier independent kingdoms. Many Pillais originally functioned essentially as
royal governors.
Pillais
still held primary influence and, as "advisers of the king", were
regarded as supporters of the king's power.
They
showed that power for 1800s when they deposed Jayanthan-Sankaran-Nampoothiri as
Prime Minister of Travancore.
Bala Rama Varma was one of
Travancore's least popular sovereigns whose reign was marked by unrest and
various internal and external political problems.
